BBQ catering in Manor House, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. We serve beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and Fêtes, fairs and sports days.
Gardens in Manor House tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so we look for a spot where smoke drifts away from windows and fences. Warn the neighbours: barbecue smoke travels. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Where the barbecue can go in Manor House
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Manor House, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Questions from Manor House
Can you get a barbecue into a London garden in Manor House?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Manor House?
Manor House has its own station: Harringay Green Lanes station.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
